YouTube Premium

YouTube has just announced, via the official blog, that the YouTube Red service, in which the user can download content from the page to watch offline, enjoy exclusive shows, series, movies, and music without announcements will change names. And with this name change, it will finally make an appearance in our country. Since YouTube Red was born in 2015, we have not been able to enjoy all the benefits it offered in Spain. Until now, since the deployment is expected throughout this year. Although nothing is confirmed yet.

The new YouTube Premium that we will finally have in our country will include:

• YouTube Music. Music without ads, with download to listen offline and in the background (that is, even if you leave YouTube the music will continue playing).
• New consignment of movies, shows, and series, including a new Robert Downey Jr. production on Artificial Intelligence.
• Download videos to enjoy offline and in the background

Youtube music

This new music streaming service wants to compete with other already established ones such as Spotify or Apple Music. The advantage that YouTube Music will offer over these other platforms lies in its design, with ability to explore more music and to be more customizable than everFor this, in addition, a completely new YouTube Music application will be launched as well as a web player for computers. If we choose YouTube Premium we will have all the advantages of YouTube Music, such as offline downloads or background playback.

YouTube Originals

If the user pays the YouTube Premium fee, in addition to YouTube Music, they will have access to all the original content created by the video platform. Currently, the sequel to Karate Kid called 'Cobra Kai', a drama series about dancing, 'Step Up', as well as upcoming sci-fi series, are on the air. Soon, more countries will join the YouTube 'grid' with programs produced in Mexico, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, etc. Will we see any Spanish series on YouTube Premium? Surely many of our most famous youtubers are already rubbing their hands at the panorama that is coming their way.
